Explanation:

"The Prophet" is a book by Lebanese author Khalil Giibran. The book consists of the teachings of a prophet on several aspects of human life. At a certain point, the prophet is asked by a rich man to teach the people about giving. He replies by saying that giving little of what one has, especially if that person has a lot, is not truly giving. According to the prophet, worrying about possessions, being afraid of losing them and then needing them, already means that person is dependent on those things. But not worrying, even if one has little, and giving it away to help others, that is freedom. The prophet says that those who give without knowing pain are representatives of God.

"There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism. And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space. Through the hands of such as these God speaks, and from behind their eyes He smiles upon the earth."
